Description of my issue:
I do use Akeeba Backup now for year to backup to Amazon S3 cloud - without any configuraton problems ever.

Now, Amazon changed the user management. And for some reason the backups won't upload to Amazon any more. - I guess the reason is some misconfiguration of the IAM user.

Is there a step by step tutorial on how to setup an IAM user (user group, policies). I feel somehow hopelessly confused on this.

I tried all steps in the Amazon S3 troubleshooter manual - without success. Still get this ambivalent error message back from AWS:
"Upload cannot be initialised. Amazon S3 returned an error message: 0 :: Akeeba\Engine\Postproc\Connector\S3v4\Connector::startMultipart(): [0] The request signature we calculated does not match the signature you provided. Check your key and signing method. ..."

Thanks for any hints.

Kind regards,
Bernhard

Hi David,

thanks for the quick response. - There seems to be some random behaviour, indeed. I managed it to upload with 2 of 8 webprojects (with individual webusers). - Using the user credentials of one of the successful sites on another project/bucket didn't work.

Is it possible that AWS needs some time after creating a new user to make it active?

Kind regards,
Bernhard

Waiting 2 hours after setup the IMAP user on AWS solved all problems automatically. :-)
